What a great moment in time! I love the way the water is dancing off that little body.

Derek - This is such a neat shot!! Love the details and colors! Sometimes I wish there were a few more predators in the pond near me as the geese become overly abundant and cause other problems. A balance would be nice. - Mike

How perfect, Derek! Congratulations on your great winner. So sad to hear of the snappers. I think that is the reason why baby ducks don't stay long in our pond, although I like to think momma duck takes them down into the swamp for safe keeping!
